Lost Music

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

For this New Sounds Program, we’ll listen to intriguing music about being lost, both physically, and in the sense of just having no direction, and not knowing where you’re headed. From duoJalal -violist Kathryn Lockwood and percussionist Yousif Sheronick- hear music by Kenji Bunch, an entire suite called “Lost & Found.”

Also, listen to Ingram Marshall’s work, “Fog Tropes,” about being in a fog, and being lost in the fog. Plus, there’s music about being directionless by Jeremy Peyton-Jones which uses nautical imagery to convey the feeling of being lost. Perhaps we’ll also hear a bit from Bang on a Can’s “Lost Objects,” a musical exploration of the meaning of memory, and a powerful monument to the loss of people, things, rituals, ideas.
